Surprise! Yet Another Kitchen

jubilant — Sat, 05 Mar 2022 02:08:32 GMT

OK, I will go to something besides kitchens after this....I promise! I like this one because it has a table and chairs at the other end and I also like the looks of it. What do you think?

I love that tiled, recessed alcove/shelf above the stove, @jubilant -- what a handy thing to have!

I think they could consider a different window covering. That's a nice big window over the sink and could be letting in more light.

The two different types of countertop used, wood and some type of stone, are handsome and complement each other.

@jubilant This is the exact same configuration as my kitchen. I could drop this kitchen right into my space. I love it. Some great ideas if I ever remodel.

VERY nice! I'd take this one in an instant with an antique table of course!!!

You did wonderfully!

Thanks!!!

I love it. Look at those hanging lights. Very pretty.

I'm all about whites and grays after years of browns.

I am not a fan of islands because I feel they take up too much space, however, this island appears to be an exception. I do not care for the chairs, however. I would have a cafe curtain on the window, something light and with color. Aside from that, I do like the rest of the look and like the table and chairs at the end.

It's a very nice kitchen. The island chairs don't thrill me.

Its ok, a little bland for my taste. I do not care for the island chairs at all. Back in the day (70's) those chairs look like a replica of old office chairs.

Very nice

I'm not a fan of subway tile for a backsplash, but that's me

I love the tile niche at the back of the stove, very practical.

I love it!..change the stools to something more comfortable and it would be just about perfect for me.

I really like this kitchen, except.............I would never have a sink in an island where people are gathering and eating, too sloppy, and those chairs look awfully uncomfortable.

This isn't horrible.

I like the blue wall above the window and the dark rich wood on the island, both warm the space and keep it from being too sterile and cold.

Yes! It needs a microwave over the stove but otherwise, I like it a lot.

It's beautiful, I would just change the stools, and add some color and perfection!

It's very clean looking & streamlined which I like, but I would need a bit more color. A different color blacksplah would help. I really like the cabinets. I'm not loving the chairs or hanging lights.

My kitchen is similar. I do not care for the office chairs. Window needs curtain to give the room some color. The walnut island is very expensive - I would love that. I disagree about a microwave over the stove. The custom hood is much more classy. The trim work is very nice as is the wall color

Not my style, and I would never have a sink in an island.
